guys,
 
for your information:
 
i worked 5R8X at 0047z last night. this was exactly at my peak. he was copy 
 able for around 3 minutes before the contact and around one minute after. 
heard  him work N4BAA right after me and then he was gone. my sunset was at 
0028z so  that equates to the peak at 18 to 20 minutes after sunset. beaming 
30 degrees  with nothing heard on LP.
 
i noticed that W6RJ worked him at 0130z. this would have been 28  minutes 
after his sunset. i would like to know exactly at what time bob worked  him 
and what was his exact sunset time.
 
been tracking the sunset enhancement peak for years and 20  minutes after 
sunset seems to be the magic number. agreed?
 
73,
